Ensure you follow the post you have mentioned[ As it is from me ;) ]

Meanwhile make sure the font file(*.ttf) which has been placed under "assets" folder, supports the string which you are expecting.

Point is, find a suitable font (*.ttf) file which serves your purpose. Rest will be fine :)

Make sure you are using the emulator for Android 3 or 4. Older versions of Android did not have support for Arabic shaping.

The limitation was in the Android OS, not the emulator, so even with the new emulators, you should create virtual Andoroid 3/4 devices for this to work.
